Summary Introduction

Introduction: Sound-wave vibrations in fishes are transmitted from the skeleton of their head to inner ears. Within the inner ear, the stimulation of hair cells takes place by the movement of otoliths.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The ossicles:   a. directly connect the tympanic membrane with the tectorial membrane   b. provide mechanical advantage for the transmission of force to the oval window   c. are composed of the incus, malleus, stapes, and pinna   d. are tiny muscles providing mechanical force to dampen sound
Which of the following statements explains why vision is less sharp in dim light than in bright light?a. Cones are more responsive in dim light.b. There are more rods than cones in the eye.c. Many rods converge on a single ganglion.d. The dilated pupil lets in more light than the lens can focus.
What is the function of the three ossicles shown in blue (10, 12, 13)? ear with labels colorful.png a. amplify the motion created by sound waves hitting the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and conveying that to the labyrinth's little oval window, causing fluid to slosh inside the cochlea B . move when the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, creating pressure waves in the middle ear that feed down into the pharynx and combine with sound wave information from our jaws C. When the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, their mechanoreceptors are activated to send neural impulses to the brain about the sound wave intensities (loudness) D. they equalize the pressure inside the ear to protect the delicate sensory cells inside the inner ear
